Taking the advice from the forum and forgoing slug barrell for my Benelli. However, the used slug guns I have found are way out of my price range. I can get one of the new Mossberg 535 ATS slugsters at Wal-mart for $280. What is the consensus of quality on the Mossberg slug guns?
Well, Mossbergs are inexpensive, and the design & execution reflects an attempt to keep them that way! However, the Model 500 is one of those slide-action shotguns purchased in mass quantities for military use, and the military chooses reliable firearms for the troops. Deer hunters in the Southern Tier of counties in NY have to use shotguns (or ML rifles), and a lot of them use Mossbergs. These guys generally like them.
